Buy genuine mate. The 1997 one looks very nice. You could order it direct from toyota.
Otherwise, you'll need to buy a VERY HIGH QUALITY item, becuase generally speaking, most aftermarket non brand name items have a lot of fitting issues, and that could be a big problem for you in Suva! Do you know anybody who can work with fibreglass bodykits over that way?

Hi Mate.
There are some guys here who work with fibreglass bodykits,actually they have fabricated quite a few bodykits for local Car owners and they look quite good.
I prefer not to get mine fabricated by them as it would cost me alot more then importing it from overseas.
Aaron, Can you recommend me some bodykits please. Mine is a insurance job so I wont be paying anything.

Nope, most of the local body kits have caused hassles during fitment, recommendations aren't a good idea. What happened with the recommendations you got from TIF some months ago?

Actually I need suppliers from Australia. The recommendations from TIF gave me some ideas so am trying to get more ideas and blend them together.
I got a Quote from Carmate something which is around Aussie$2300 including freight but after visiting some other sites, I was confused by the materials that are being used while production.
Some say kit made out of fibreglass are not good and others say that they are.

Edwin, do NOT go with CarMate. They are the worst bunch of people I have ever dealt with. They wouldn't replace my mesh after it fell off two days after I got the kit installed. They denied it was their fault and wanted to charge me for it. Never been back there since.
